....for Anti-Trust violations. Wow ! Sounds great, right? What a headline! Down with Cartels! I'm no sage but here's how this is likely to go: The case will be heard in 2026, any unfavorable findings will be appealed. In 2028, instead of Live Nation being broken apart, they will agree to establish a 10M fund as reparations to the ticket-buying public. After the attorneys get their cut, you can choose to receive a check for $7.26 or receive it as a $10 credit for your next Live Nation ticket purchase. Boy - I sure would love to be wrong on this one.

Scheffler is indeed on a heater - Tiger Woods kinda batting average lately. Masters was a bit anti-climactic given that his closest pursuers decided to add some crooked numbers to their cards which made the last 5-6 holes feel more like a coronation, than a competition. As long as Scottie is putting well, it's lights out for the rest of the field.

Eventbrite is processing refunds. Hope you can recover some dough

Unless I got catfished by the interwebs, I just saw this. The 'refund' section will amount to complete and total bleep show.

His name is Rob Bertrando. Here's who you were thinking of:

More summertime fun! 7/9 - Santa Fe Brewing Co - Santa Fe, NM 7/10 - Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas - Las Vegas, NV 7/21 - Stone Pony Summer Stage - Asbury Park, NJ 8/23 - Thompson's Point - Portland, ME 8/24 - Jay Peak Resort - Jay, VT

Small sample-size gra8fulpair, but the debate may not be a debate for much longer 😁 I listened to 4/29 again last night and it sounded technically perfect and still blistering. In it's totality as a show, I think 4/29 edges 8/6 based on quality of play and breadth of song selections. But the rawness and rowdiness of the 8/6 HTH wins by a nose in a photo finish. While all of 8/6 is worthy of mention, The Cumberland, HTH, and most importantly: The ~28M segment featuring Truckin > Drums > Other One > Me & My Uncle > Other One is simply lights out. Right there with anything they ever did up to that point. My honorable mention HTH is 6/21/71 while the grateful dead were on holiday in France (an obvious harbinger of E72). This version is fantastic in it's own right. Here's an video excerpt of the show that's pretty cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWbzmRBU6Lg All hail Voodoonola 🫡 unless he's a jerk in real life

4/29/71 - height of their powers ? Really close. That whole Fillmore run was a masterpiece or a masterclass - same difference. HTH epitomized that in spades - no denyin. If we just talkin about HTH, then you gotta put 8/6/71 in the final. Do not pass go. The 2 Heavyweights. One aspect I will concede would be Pigs delivery. He was not well at the time - and while 8/6 is still wild and wolly, I’ll give 4/29 the nod there. Jerrys licks? You take those 2 shows and you got some of his best stuff encapsulated. A literal push in my eyes. The difference that puts 8/6 over the top? Atmosphere. That recording with the crowd reacting and then playin the band? It’s a fucking Time Machine and It’s some of the best vibes ever put out with crowd reacting in time! That aspect is the veritable royal flush that trumps your 4 aces

Waiting for DSO to play 69/4/21 again - been nearly 15 yrs

What's the difference between a chickpea and a lentil? I wouldn't pay $50 to have a lentil on my face.

There was an agreement in principle (nothing contractual) to develop the project after killers of the flower moon was completed. According in IMBD, Scorsese has 9 projects in active pre-production which suggests the biopic is inactive or DOA. Probably for the best given the degree of difficulty

I thought for sure there was gonna be a Red Rocks announcement for July 😲 I suppose a jump back across the pond is indeed Big News - just wasn't conceptualizing another visit after the E72 recreations from 2022.

The band has some self-described 'Big News' coming down the track and July 8 is indeed an open date on the RR Event calendar. Not a bad way to top off DSO's Colorado 'residency' in July.

Stick with a vintage Burgundy instead of hitting the harder stuff - Dylan’s advice Unless it’s the real, real pricey stuff, often too sweet for my delicate palate

1987/3/2 HENRY J. KAISER CONVENTION CENTER - OAKLAND, CA Jack Straw Althea C.C. Rider Bird Song Beat it on Down the Line Ramble on Rose Feel Like a Stranger China Cat Sunflower I Know You Rider Man Smart/Woman Smarter Ship of Fools Estimated Prophet Eyes of the World drums Truckin' Morning Dew e: Johnny B. Goode f: Take a Letter Maria

It appears they have not - They've done 2 1993 shows since Jeff joined, but did 3/20/93 twice during the JK era. All tolled, DSO history contains 43 recreations of 1993 GD shows. Surprised it was this many but after 3200+ shows, there's bound to be more of everything than you think. Tomorrow never knows doesn't really do it for me although I do like the trippy dissonant aspect of that song

1977-10-28 @ Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial, Kansas City, KS (1) Promised Land, They Love Each Other, Cassidy, Tennessee Jed, Mexicali Blues-> Big River, Brown Eyed Women, Lazy Lightning-> Supplication, Deal (2) Samson & Delilah, Candyman, Sunrise, Passenger, He's Gone-> Drums-> Not Fade Away-> Stella Blue-> Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad-> Around & Around E: Casey Jones F: Mr. Charlie, Ripple

THAT's the stuff right there. I'm sure it had many walkin on sunshine! Up until the filler, think about how much actual singing happened 😁 The vocal chords got some reprieve - except for maybe Barraco given his slate. After 23 years of BillK522 chasing a 69 show and getting one, he gets another 1969 jolt less than 2 months later. I really like that new batting average! Couldn't have happened to a better guy 😀

Just saw that one pop up - Nice!

Don't have a full setlist yet but I think I've narrowed it down to an elective or a show from 1973 since I know they played Let Me Sing Your Blues Away. Anyone know? Cue Black Peter EDIT - Now we have it: Original Recipe Set 1: Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodleloo ; Silver Threads And Golden Needles ; Loose Lucy ; You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man) > Sittin' On Top Of The World ; Big Iron ; It Must Have Been The Roses ; The Race Is On ; Let Me Sing Your Blues Away ; Dancing In The Street Set 2: Here Comes Sunshine ; Maggie's Farm > Cumberland Blues ; Big Boy Pete ; Pride Of Cucamonga ; Eyes Of The World > Uncle John's Band > Masters of War > Sing Me Back Home > China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider Encore: Walking The Dog * One drummer elective. Dino on drums. Rob K drums on encore I'm sure it was all great but that segment from Eyes forward looks damn juicy!

For those attending the show @ Infinity Hall in Hartford tonight, I hope ya'll get a wicked elective! Those streams from The Kirby Center over the weekend sounded great. Playing with that level of energy means you won't be disappointed , no matter what they play - elective or recreation! Ring . That . Bell 🛎️
